According to Bild this Friday, Bayern Munich are gaining confidence in the Sadio Mané case, linked to Liverpool until June 2023. The Bavarian club could pay 30 million euros to hire the 30-year-old Senegalese striker next season.
Sadio Mané will announce his decision on his future after the Champions League final which pits his club against Benzema's Real Madrid this Saturday.
And unlike his teammate Mohamed Salah, also under contract until 2023, the Senegalese striker refused to give any indication.
For his part, the Egyptian has already claimed that he would stay with the Reds next season, even if he did not extend his contract at Liverpool further, focusing on the end of the season.

Arrived in the summer of 2016 from Southampton against more than 40 million euros, Mané won everything at Liverpool.
Last February, he even added the African Cup of Nations with the Senegalese selection to his list, positioning himself a little more among the candidates for the next Ballon d'Or.
Liverpool would have waited until the end of the season to discuss Mané's contract extension.
The leaders have reportedly been overtaken in recent weeks by Bayern Munich.
The agency dealing with Mané reportedly met Hasan Salihamidžić, the Munich sporting director, at the beginning of May.
Should the deal go through, it would be a big blow in the attacking sector for Bayern Munich.
The latter should lose at the same time Robert Lewandowski, who would like to join FC Barcelona twelve months from the end of his contract.
Julian Nagelsmann, the young Bavarian coach, could also use Mané as a winger, especially since Serge Gnabry could also leave Bayern this summer.
In any case, the Senegalese is the priority of Bavarian leaders eager to strike a blow on the transfer market after having already enlisted right-back Noussair Mazraoui and midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Ajax Amsterdam.
